The Antebellum house in Marshall, NC

The Lawrence Allen house has been completely refurbished since I first saw it several years ago. I admit to not having any ancestors who lived here...but I like sharing beautiful architecture anyway!




Sign in front of house describes the Civil War as it hit the citizens of Marshall NC. My blogging friend, Vicki Lane, has written a historical novel based on the region and the Shelton Laurel Massacre, (but it had yet to be published in 2018)







A sweet little orange guy welcomed us.

  2. In my head, I never realized that you and Vicki lived that close to each other. My head is stupid.

    1. Yes indeed, but our closest link is here in blogland. We've only met in person once. I'm looking forward to her talk about her book.

So glad to have your comments...whatever they may be. I'm one who likes to reply sometime or another, so others will see that; or you might happen back sometime and see what conversation might have started.
